Compared to a 12-gauge slug gun, the 400 Legend is a clear winner. It delivers 100 percent more energy at 100 yards with half the recoil. Happily, the 400 Legend also works nicely in AR-platform rifles. The new cartridge’s ballistic performance makes it a great choice for hunting deer, hogs, black bear and other big game within reasonable range.
